Protein shots
Protein shots, with the full label printed in plain sight
Most protein products hide behind a 14 oz bottle and a long list of stabilizers. REFUEL is a 3 oz protein shot with 21g of protein — fat-free, cholesterol-free, low sodium, sweetened with monk fruit, and built for smaller appetites.
What is a protein shot?
A protein shot is a concentrated 2–3 oz beverage that delivers a meaningful dose of protein in one serving instead of the 11 to 14 oz bottle you sip from a typical RTD shake. The format matters: less volume means less room for fillers, gums, and thickeners, so a well-formulated shot can keep the label short and the stomach light.
What makes a protein shot GLP-1 friendly?
GLP-1 medications often reduce appetite, which makes a 12 oz shake feel like a chore. A GLP-1 friendly protein delivers the protein you need in a smaller, lighter format. REFUEL packs 21g of protein into 3 oz and 100 calories, with 0g fat, 0mg cholesterol, and low sodium — so it is easy to finish even when appetite is low.

Protein shot questions, answered
- What is a protein shot?
- A protein shot is a small, concentrated beverage — usually 2 to 3 oz — that delivers a meaningful dose of protein in one quick serving, instead of the 11 to 14 oz bottle you sip from a typical ready-to-drink shake.
- How much protein is in a REFUEL shot?
- 21g of protein in a 3 oz shot. That is 36% of the daily value for protein, in a serving that is one fifth the volume of a standard RTD shake.
- What makes REFUEL a GLP-1 friendly protein?
- It is built for smaller appetites: 21g of protein and 100 calories in just 3 oz, fat-free, cholesterol-free, and low sodium. The clean label uses monk fruit instead of sucralose and skips the gums and thickeners common in larger shakes, so it is light on the stomach.
- What sweetener does REFUEL use?
- Monk fruit extract. There are no added sugars and no sucralose.
- When should I drink a protein shot?
- Whenever your protein gap shows up — after training, between meals, with a light breakfast, or when a full shake feels like too much.
- Does REFUEL contain dairy?
